The Willington Roll of Honour 1939-2002
On Tuesday 12th November 2002 a service of remembrance was held at
Churchill Community College to dedicate a memorial plaque to the servicemen and civilians of Willington Quay,
Howdon, Willington Square, Rosehill and Holy Cross who died during wars and conflicts from 1939-2002.
At the same service, books of remembrance were dedicated for safekeeping in:
St Mary's Church
St Paul's Church
St Mark's Church
St Aidan's Church
Churchill Community College
I have received several inquiries asking if a copy of the book can be purchased.
Unfortunately, only 5 were printed
and such a limited reproduction would prove too expensive. I have therefore produced
an amended version of the
book on disc, free to anyone who may wish to copy it.

The Willington Book of Remembrance 1939-2002
Don Price
This book honours the servicemen and civilians of Willington, who ‘gave their tomorrow for our today.’ A book of this nature can only be as complete as the names provided and as accurate as the information available at the time and I apologise for any omissions.
My research in most cases began with the daily Roll of Honour published in the Evening Chronicle from 1939-1947. Names taken from this source were compared with the records of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and where possible related to the 1939 and 1945-1947 Electoral Registers.
Finally, I attempted to contact relatives and although my successes were limited, the response from the relatives I was able to talk with made the effort well worthwhile.
I would like to thank the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for access to their records, Jim Winter for allowing me unlimited access to his badge collection and David Baldwin, Headmaster of Churchill Community College.

THE PRIEST WHO BECAME A HERO OVERNIGHT
On the night of 25th April, 1941, German planes carried out an
air-raid over Tyneside. Many civilians lost their lives and homes,
particularly in the vicinity of Willington Quay, near the Roman
Catholic Church of Our Lady and St. Aidan.
The sound of the plane's engines could be heard quite clearly.
Incendiary bombs were dropped and many fires started. The sky lit up
with what looked like chandeliers brightly burning, floating about
overhead, as if the moon was at its full.
Air-raid wardens ushered people into the air-raid shelters at top
speed. A report was circulated that an object attached to a parachute
had been seen over the Benton area, and was slowly coming down to
earth. Moving towards the railway bridge near Haggies Ropery, the
object attached to the parachute was a mine. It descended on the
houses of Headlam Street and Hodgson Street, shattering and
destroying all the houses as it exploded. There were three men
standing near the Dun Cow Inn at the time. Two of these ran along the
road, and as they did so a big kerb stone fell at the heels of one
Mr. Naisbitt. Mr. Paddy Cassidy did not move, but remained around the
corner. He was never seen again.
A young priest, Father Thomas Scriven, dashed out of the church
carrying the Blessed Sacrament to administer the Last Rites. He knew
that many of his parishioners were buried under the rubble. On
reaching the scene, he took off his coat, and set to work with his
bare hands, tearing at the wreckage. Not caring about risking his own
life, he worked untiringly, all through the night, and well into the
next day. He was aided by Mr. John Kennedy, who stayed with the
priest and gave him all the help he could in pulling the victims out
of the wreckage. Although Father Scriven was advised to give up by
the officials and wardens, he would not do so. He knew that one old
lady Mrs. Doyle, who had a shop near the Dun Cow Inn, was still
buried under the shambles and he was determined to get her out at all
costs. They finally reached her huddled under the stairs. She was the
last person to receive the Blessed Sacrament. Her son Jimmy was
killed in this raid. In all twenty-four persons were killed, fifteen
of them Roman Catholics. It was said that the Rev. Father Scriven
should have had an award in recognition of his bravery, but if anyone
told him so, he would point a finger upwards and say "I will get my
reward in Heaven". He was always admired and respected by Catholics
and non-Catholics alike. Later he moved to St. Mary's, South Moor,
County Durham. He had been curate at St. Aidan's where he served for
sixteen years.
In later years Fr. Scriven suffered ill health, and died on the 9th
November, 1973, at the age of 69 years. He was interred in a grave
near the entrance of his church.
